“Kabelo Mahlasela will be out of action for four months,” reported Team Physio Dave Milner. “The procedure to repair a tear in his meniscus inside the knee went well.”

Mahlasela incurred the freak injury in his first training with the Team after signing for Amakhosi from Bloemfontein Celtic.

“Mahlasela had just passed his medicals a day before the injury occurred,” concluded Milner. “It is one of those unlucky situations that often happen in sports.”

Meanwhile, Bernard Parker is recovering from an ankle niggle and will be assessed this week. Tsepo Masilela is progressing well and has begun with running exercise.

We wish them all a speedy recovery.
